Ever since Nathaniel gave me a gift package to a yoga studio in Minneapolis, I have been hooked on the little escape from reality that comes with each class. Even before I was preggers, I saw that they had prenatal yoga, and would dream how great it would feel to be pregnant and take the classes. However, when I was dreaming about prenatal yoga, I never envisioned that the for the first three months, I would be doing stretches over toilets, rather than on my yoga mat.
So, imagine my excitement when Thursday, after a long nap, I woke up feeling like I had enough energy, and my stomach was settled enough, to go to my first prenatal yoga class. It was so fun. We went over two breathing techniques to use during labor, and then had a hatha style class (this is more of a slow, stretching style of yoga). It felt so good to elongate the body. I did have to run to the bathroom once, but to me, that is a success!
I can't wait to see how different yoga feels as my belly gets bigger and bigger!
